Jeff, Contrary to what you have been posting, the Jay complaints are coming from a group. It is called 'ABJ". It stands for ANYBODY BUT JAY". We are dedicated to the pursuit of playing the best players on a daily basis. We believe a player should not start based on personal relationships, religious affiliations, or connections with the media.

The Jay Troll embraces the Nature Boy! So at least he has that going for him.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:45:22 PM

If Jay wasn't in the game the score would probably be tied 2 to 2.

Whew!

How many of today's starters hit 10+ HRs?

by Chitownredbird4/13/2015 9:47:43 PM

I'll go with seven.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:47:56 PM

Who doesn't?

by Chitownredbird4/13/2015 9:48:58 PM

Jay, who will rank No. 2 or 3 in OBP and perhaps No. 1 in batting average.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:49:24 PM

Who hits the most HR's?

by rod4/13/2015 9:50:31 PM

A lot of guys around 20. Likely bunched. I'll still go with Holliday. Hard to get him out of the lineup.

Grichuk for sure. He'll get some ABs. Reynolds . . . I'd be surprised. If Adams plays to his ability and stays healthy, there won't be the ABs for him.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:52:09 PM

Holliday with a single up the middle. This would be a good time for Adams to take his shot.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:54:10 PM

Instead, he tries to hit into a double play. Another wild throw from Segura spares him that indignity.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:55:03 PM

Which of today's starters has 10+ steals?

by Chitownredbird4/13/2015 9:55:05 PM

Wong, Heyward, Jay.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:55:38 PM

Jay has truly cost us this game. Time for Grichuk to save the day. If they get Jay out now, it will stop him from the usual missed ball in the outfield later on.

by Bob Ferguson4/13/2015 9:55:42 PM

After Carpenter and Heyward strand a runner at second base -- and after Adams tries to hit into a double play -- the Jay Troll returns!

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:56:28 PM

Thus far I see nothing from Heyward that makes me think of him as a 20 million dollar plus player as everybody speaks of.His hitting really has been pedestrian for the past few years and thus far this year as well.I must admit i do not understand how he is spoken of as a superstar?He is a solid player not a superstar

by jlb4/13/2015 9:56:35 PM

Right now that appears to be the case. The Cardinals would overpay him to be very good or even good, but right field needs to be an offensive position. Hard to pay big for just a No. 2 hitter.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:57:42 PM

Jon Jay ranked 16th in WAR for out of all MLB centerfielders in 2014. But I can see where all the haters are coming from WAR is a terrible measure of how a good a player is and being the 16th best is clearly nothing to be impressed about for a guy making the kind of money he is.... (Sarcasm)

by Joseph4/13/2015 9:57:52 PM

Does Grichuk get sent down by next week? I think Jay is going to continue to play regardless of his non production. I see this playing out just like the Tavares situation. Matheny is going to force Mo to make a trade if he does not play the best players.

by SadlerKramers main squeeze4/13/2015 9:58:02 PM

The non-productive Jay rips a single to right, putting Molina in a RBI situation. As for Grichuk, again, the man has never hit .260 or better above Class A ball. Lot to prove there. Maybe he does need to prove he can hit before he gets a full-time job here.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:59:21 PM

Jay created an RBI scenario, but Molina strands the runners. He and Adams remain a big problem for the offense.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 9:59:56 PM

The personal hate on Jon Jay by Bob is borderline creepy..

by Hodor4/13/2015 9:59:57 PM

Yeah, Jon is a foot a way from a two-hit, two-RBI game today, Doing what he has done for five years, pretty much.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 10:00:22 PM

Is it possible to ban the loony Jon Jay stuff here?It really does ruin the chat,I think it is fair to say you have proven to all of us that there are some disturbed people out there

by jlb4/13/2015 10:00:26 PM

Yeah, I supposed I am more bemused by all of this than others.

by Jeff Gordon4/13/2015 10:01:07 PM

Naww..its funny man. But I'm surprised that Adams doesn't get more of it..

by Gus Kyle...4/13/2015 10:02:11 PM

At what point do the cards begin to panic about about the possibility that Yadi is in a decline and is not going to hit with authority again?In addition his defense seems to be suffering a bit as well

by jlb4/13/2015 10:02:48 PM

Every spot in #Cardinals order has now had a plate appearance with a runner in scoring position. That's 11 PA, 1 H, 2 BB, 1 RBI on GO, 8 LOB
